I've been awake since 2:15 a.m.


What?!


First it was that little twinge in my bladder. "Wake up! I need emptied!" Minutes later, it was Baby Girl, screaming like she just saw a ghost. I quickly got out of bed, peed, and went to rescue her. Poor girl. I nursed her which usually calms her right down and puts her back to sleep, but not so this time. I brought her to our bed for about half an hour and then when I thought she was good and asleep, I snuck her back into her crib. She woke up as soon as I laid her down of course, but after a couple minutes of crying, was back to sleep. 


Only for an hour though. 


More screams like she was being attacked. Maybe she's having bad dreams? Maybe its sore gums? Maybe its the fact that her new room is three walls of windows and the hideous street lamp shines in? Gotta get those room-darkening shades and fast. Blinn woke up this time and after a few minutes of letting her cry scream it out, he brought her back into our room. The two of them are now sleeping peacefully side by side and its adorable. She was spooned up next to me, sharing my pillow, but reached out to be able to touch her papa too. Their bond these days is precious.


So here I am, blogging in my bath robe in a room lit only by the light of the computer monitor. I also happened to be quite hungry when I woke up a couple of hours ago so I just gave in and got a snack. Kashi Roasted Vegetable Crackers it is... and man, they're hitting the spot. 

What is my deal? I have these occasional bouts of insomnia more times than I care to admit. Lianne just told me about melatonin. I might need to look into that and get some. This. Weekend.  


About nine hours from now we'll be headed over to Dad and Sherry's house for a meet-n-greet with Kristi's beau's family. They've only been dating for four years, have a kid and a house together so ya know... its time we finally meet these Moormans. I'm looking forward to it, actually. I plan to wear a little sundress and dress 'Roo in something similar. I'll paint my toe nails and if I have time, my fingernails, and I'll get to enjoy a little alcohol mid-day whilst my daughter gets to visit with family. Not a terrible way to spend a Saturday afternoon. Aaaand, The Boy will be home all weekend which is a bonus considering we were planning on him being in northwest Ohio shooting a wedding. I sure do love that husband of mine. I am missing him these days. We need a date badly. 


My crackers are gone. Here's the dilemma: Do I dig in for a handful more or do I just gulp a big glass of water and call it a night? Hmmm.
